Eeva-Maria Viitanen: <i>People and Place in Pompeian Elections: The
Significance of Location for Interpretation of Texts</i><br>
<br>
<b>Abstract:</b> The painted electoral notices in the streetscape of
Pompeii are a unique collection of textual evidence from the Roman
World. The most important part of them are the names of candidates
and their supporters. These have been used to reconstruct the
election process, the political life in the last decades of Pompeii
as well as the address directory of the city. My work focuses on the
find locations of the notices and new insights can be gleaned on
candidates, campaigns, supporters, painters, and house owners.<br>
<br>
The event is a part of an interdisciplinary seminar series titled
Helsinki Research on the Ancient World. This monthly seminar
operates under the aegis of the PapyGreek
